A Record 1,428 Dolphins Are Slaughtered in ‘Inhumane’ Faroe Islands Hunt
Many participating hunters did not hold a license, Sea Shepherd said. As a result, the dolphins endured far more brutal deaths, many “still alive and moving even after being thrown onshore with the rest of their dead pod,” the organization said in their news release.
Photos show dolphins were likely run over by motor boats, bits of their bodies hacked off and their intestines spilling onto the sand. Such killing methods result in long and painful deaths, Sea Shepherd said.
